MTIs C2 cam has similar specs and is very streetable, a few members are running that cam. How much lope you get will depend on which LSA you choose. A cam on a 114 LSA will have less lope than a cam on a 112 or lower LSA. :cheers:

tuning is the swing factor on being streetable....with a good tune this cam should drive like stock.

I have the 220/220 MTI stealth cam with a .581/.581 and 111I/119E LSA. It does not
idle very smooth at all. The exhaust is a dead give away. And sitting in it idling the car will get into a rythm of shaking back and forth enough to spill a drink if you had one sitting on the center console. It will idle smooth for a second or two again, then it gets back into a rhythm where it rocks back and forth again. The car has been tuned and is idle up to 900 RPM now with the exact same lope. Even at 40 MPH and 1500 RPM with the converter locked it bucks back and forth. You have to get up to at least 50MPH with the converter lock to get rid of the bucking. Thats about 1750RPM or so. I am running the SS3600 converter. The car makes crazy power though. 403 at the wheels at Lou's shop. This is with stock unported LS6 heads. So I doubt the cam is installed wrong. Stealthy this cam is not! :rolleyes:
